This book will take you on an architectural tour through Provence and the Côte d’Azur, considered by many people to be the most beautiful region of France. Contemporary architecture and design are the theme of this book: in contract with the classic Provençal style, we make a case for resolutely modern, streamlined architecture and interiors. Two tendencies stand out: on the one hand, the renovation and “stripping” of classic mas, bastides and country houses, which are reduced to their true essence, with the exterior often remaining intact for conservation reasons, and, on the other hand, the construction of uncompromising, visionary villas that make you forget the classic architectural idiom of this region.
